In its first 10 days Sin-
glewicket Cricket Foundation
FB promotion of the Corpus
Christi Cricket Festival
reached almost 2000 persons
according to Tournament Pro-
moter Andre Phillips when he
addressed sponsors and the
media at the official launch of
the Ultimate Allrounder
Cricket Challenge at Shep-
herd's Inn on Tuesday 10th
May.
The hotel is one of the spon-
sors and the home to super all-
rounders coming in from
Trinidad for the all day cricket
thriller on May 26th at Cyd
Gray Stadium, Roxborough.
The organisers have also se-
cured sponsorship from TSTT,
SporTT Company, First Citi-
zens Bank and Newsday and
financial support from Division
of Education Youth Affairs and
Sport, THA. The tournament is
organised by the same outfit
that hosts the annual
Caribbean Singlewicket Cricket
Tournament. After a seven
year lapse, singlewicket cricket
returns to Tobago, its birth-
place so to speak. Headlining
the cast of allrounders are
Narsingh Deonarine who has
been capped for West Indies in
tests and ODI matches. The
Guyanese will have to contend
with fellow countryman Roys-
ton Crandon a spinning all-
rounder who has been a
regular in Guyana teams in all
cricket formats.
Trinidad hopes may hinge on
Reyad Emrit.
The organisers are commit-
ted to including at least two
outstanding Tobago all-
rounders in the competition.
Altogether twelve allrounders
will vie for the $15000 cham-
pion purse. They will compete
in 4 groups of three players.
The winners of each group ad-
vance to the semi-final or
knockout stage and the two
semi-final winners will vie to
be crowned the ultimate all-
rounder in T&T cricket. Fifteen
short action-packed matches
will be played between 11am
and 6pm. Each match involves
four overs with one allrounder
batting for two overs and
bowling a maximum of two
overs against his opponent.
Each batter is allowed up to
three dismissals but penalty
runs are deducted for each dis-
missal. The organisers are
using cricketers from the To-
bago Cricket Association to
perform fielding duties and fill
the role of non-striking bats-
men when allrounders are bat-
ting. Tournament Director Bill
Browne emphasised the im-
portance of exposure to pro-
fessional cricketers afforded
the young Tobago cricketers
by filling these cricketing roles.
Altogether players involved
will share $30,000 in prizes
and incentives.
Tickets are on sale at Pen-
nysavers outlets and Pablo's
Supermarket in Argyle. The
cricket action will be spiced
with pulsating music from
Mighty Krush one of the lead-
ing Tobago deejays and other
entertainment.
Narsingh Deonarine
A compact middle order bats-
man and off spin bowler who has
represented Guyana and West In-
dies. He made his test debut
against South Africa, in March
2005. Two years later, he almost
snatched a spot in the West In-
dies' Twenty20 squad for the in-
augural World Championship, but
didn't make the final squad. He
remained consistent in the do-
mestic game and was the overall
leading run-scorer in the 2008-09
regional four-day competition
with 1068 runs. Deonarine has
played in all editions of CPL T20
and has played twice in the
Caribbean Singlewicket Cricket
Tournament. Deonarine is the
star player in the very competi-
tive Merry Boys team Deonarine
campaigned with Jamaica
Tallawahs in the CPL T20 last
year.
Akeal Hosein
A gifted spin bowling allrounder
who has spent three seasons
with the star-studded Queens
Park outfit even while he was a
West Indies Under 19 cricketer.
Hosein has steadily improved his
batting and bowling average in
the last two seasons of local
cricket and is himself a potent
force in the Trinidad and Tobago
national team in ODI competition.
In the last two seasons, he forced
his way into the Barbados Tri-
dents starting eleven performing
creditably with ball moreso when
given the opportunity. Hosein is
making his first appearance in
singlewicket cricket competition
Imran Khan
A right-handed bat and leg
break bowler who has played reg-
ularly for Trinidad in first class
cricket.. In the last five years he
has also worn national colors in
the regional T20 and ODI tourna-
ments. Khan has had the distinc-
tion of being top scorer and best
bowler in an innings on a few oc-
casions which attest to his all-
round cricket skill. He is now
playing for the Barbados Tridents
in CPL T20. He debuted in single
wicket cricket two years ago but
did not progress beyond the
group stage. His form in domes-
tic cricket with Alescon Comets
suggests that he should progress
to the knockout stage.
